The last time I met the Nightmare Assassin, almost all the valuable scrolls on my body were consumed, and only a few 'Magic Catalysis' and 'Frost Nova' scrolls remained, and this time I finally had time to draw magic scrolls, so I naturally stayed in Yerkes's laboratory and took advantage of the convenience here to draw a large number of 'Gathering Fire' scrolls and 'Frost Scrolls'. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, I wanted to make some 'Frost Nova' and 'Ice Gun', two second-level magic scrolls, but unfortunately I couldn't find even a bottle of 'Ocean Ink' in my magic fanny pack, so I thought I would try my luck with Shangqige, I thought she would have some there, and even if she didn't, at least she could help me make some.

Hastily tidied up the experimental table, put the blank magic parchment next to the test table, cleaned the engraved pen stained with magic ink, carefully wiped the desktop of the test bench stained with ink traces, and placed the magic books on the bookshelf next to it neatly, and then walked out of the laboratory and covered the door of the laboratory.

Scholar Yerkis has completed the task of the magic pattern structure, and now on vacation, he handed me the magic pattern structure of the hard leather armor, and he can't wait to leave. In the past, he was a person who was troublesome when he saw a woman, but now he is a general eater, and he can't wait to be tired of being at home all day long.

Kig has been very busy lately, and when she was at the Royal Academy of Magic, she was busy pushing those magical potions classes out of the schedule, and then giving her students a lot of homework. When she was on the research institute's side, she had to make some designated magic potions according to the requirements of the research institute, and she hated those conventional magic potions the most, for her, it was a kind of torment to be locked up in the laboratory all day to make those magic potions.

The Institute of Magic is a large interior complex, it occupies all four floors of the entire Pride Tower, the architects have decorated every inch of the space here, I like the courtyard garden the most, sitting on the benches in the garden, admiring the extraordinarily manicured greenery and neat lawn, full of very layered verdant, can make people feel relaxed.

When passing the stone arch bridge, I poked my head out of the stone fence to see the magic swordfish in the clear water channel, they lurked quietly at the bottom of the water, once they found their prey, they would slowly lurk near the surface of the water, and then shoot a fierce water arrow from the water, if you don't pay attention, you will feel the hot pain when you are shot by the water arrow.

The 'water arrows' made by these young magic swordfish can only threaten the insects flying in the air, even those small flying birds, generally can't shoot down, I like to carefully observe the body structure of these magic swordfish, their whole body is shuttle-shaped, translucent, every time the water magic is condensed, a water magic pattern will appear on the surface of the body, very simple, I tried to depict the magic pattern on the body of these magic swordfish, but there is no magic effect.

The Yerkes scholars say that the magic patterns on these swordfish are a gift from nature, and if you can figure out the mysteries, you will benefit a lot in this life.

I held the stone railing with both hands, and was looking a little intrigued, and in the afterglow of my eyes, I happened to see a familiar figure walking on the bluestone road opposite, it turned out to be the head of the herbal medicine department of the Emerald Harbor Trading Company, and walked out of it with a depressed face, I am also very familiar with him, recently, the crossbows and muskets I asked Louis to buy on behalf of Bard are all Bard's agents, Louis has recently been on duty in the Floating King City, naturally he has no time to care about these little things.

I didn't expect him to appear at the Academy of Magic, I raised my head, reached out and shook at him, and then greeted him: "Mr. Bud!"

"Wizard Jiga, I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence. "Bud looked surprised when he saw me.

"I'm here as an assistant to a magician, and every day at this time...... Oh, and it might be a little later, and you'll pass through here. I said to Bard, "It's so late, why are you here at the Institute?"

Bard said with a wry smile, "Did the Wizard Jiga forget the batch of fire bombs he ordered?"

"Oh, is there an eyebrow?" I said, pleasantly surprised.

"It's so easy! Now that fire oil has become a military management item, the front lines of all planes are handing orders to the Ministry of Munitions, and the price of this main ingredient for making fire bullets has been speculated to the sky, and even so, it is still out of stock. "Bard didn't hide it from me, he directly stated the purpose of the trip, and frankly admitted that those fire bombs were very difficult to handle.

He said to me, "I'm here to see if there's a chance to buy some oil!"

"Does the Magic Research Institute also have a large amount of fire oil?Here, if you want to get magic materials from the warehouse, you need some points, if it's not convenient, I can think of a way!" I heard Bard say this, because he was running around for the sake of that batch of fire burns, and I was a little reluctant to go, so I hurriedly proposed that if it was the magic materials in the original warehouse of magic research, I could try to get it.

Unexpectedly, Bard shook his head in embarrassment, and said to me with a wry smile: "I came here, just to try my luck, and I didn't have much hope, if it was those materials in the warehouse of the Magic Research Institute, things would be much simpler, it was nothing more than a question of how high the price was, no matter what, I could still get some." ”

Seeing Bard's sad face because of this, I asked Bard in surprise, "Could it be that there are still people in the Magic Research Institute who have a large amount of fire oil in their hands?"

Bard hesitated for a moment, but still told me happily: "It can't be said that it is fire oil, to be precise, it should be the 'corpse fire oil' transported from the orc tribe, according to the magicians of the Alchemist Guild, the corpse fire oil can be used instead of fire oil to make fire burn bombs, according to the information we have received, there is a magician nobleman in the magic research institute." I have the orc tribe in charge of the trade with the Grimm Empire's 'Corpse Oil', so I'm here to try my luck and see if I can buy some Corpse Oil!"

"Corpse oil?" I froze.

Bard was worried that I didn't know the effect of the 'Corpse Fire Oil', so he quickly explained to me: "That's right, don't look at its ugly name, but in fact, the effect is far better than ordinary fire oil, however, because these 'Corpse Fire Oil' are basically shipped from the orc tribe, so the quantity is very limited, and usually, it is more popular than those fire oils, so I just try my luck this time to see if there can be a caravan returning from the orc tribe." ”

The tide of memories rushed through my mind as if it had burst suddenly.

If it is popular to eat 'chocobo meat stewed vermicelli' at banquets in the upper aristocratic circles of the empire, I can also understand that Kuz has turned all the sweet potatoes in those swamps into vermicelli and dumped them into the Grimm Empire. Then these 'corpse fire oil' are also only refined by the swamp zombies who drowned in the park, and it should also be Kuz's big hand, I didn't expect that the 'corpse fire oil' thing would one day also enter the circle of merchants in the imperial capital.

"Is there anyone in the Magic Research Institute who controls all the transactions of the Imperial Capital's 'Corpse Fire Oil'? Who is that person? Such a powerful person can actually control the 'Corpse Fire Oil' trade in the entire Imperial Capital!" I asked Bard curiously.

"It's the fiancée of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Prince of Wales, Her Royal Highness Princess Kige!" Bard hesitated for a moment, then said to me, "This princess not only controls the trade of the Imperial Capital's 'Corpse Fire Oil', but also operates the trade of oil stoves, meat floss bricks, and low-grade magic herbs, but all goods brought back from the orc tribe will go to this princess's trading house. ”

I was surprised and said, "It's Kige!"

People like Bard are the most observant of words, and when they saw that I was a little out of shape, they immediately asked me in surprise, "Could it be that the magician Jiga knows Her Royal Highness Princess Qige?"

I nodded slightly.

But I heard Bard cheer excitedly and said: "In this case, our fire bullet can be regarded as an eyebrow, at least, there should be hope." ”

"I'll take you to her, hoping that she still has a batch of 'corpse fire oil' in her hand. I said on the spot.

Bud said with excitement and anticipation, "Good!"

I took Bard back the way I came, striding towards Kig's lab.

......

Qige's laboratory is located in the complex of the Institute of Herbal Medicine, and although it is unremarkable, it is very famous.

Basically, the young magicians who work as assistants at the Magic Research Institute know the exact location of Qige's laboratory very well, and they also study her schedule very thoroughly.

These young magician assistants will avoid the area of Qige's laboratory as much as possible during their time in the Magic Research Institute, they are all frightened, for fear that Qige will catch them halfway to help her complete those whimsical experiments, usually, Qige's experiments are full of danger.

From a distance, I saw Kig's maid Takama standing at the door of the laboratory, wearing a light leather armor, looking around vigilantly, her golden pupils always contained a kind of coldness, as long as she looked at it, there was a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake.

Tacama stood quietly beside me, staring at Bard behind me.

I casually asked her, "Is Kig in there?"

Takama nodded, her cheeks flushed slightly, avoiding my gaze at her, and at the same time getting out of the way, reaching out and pushing the door of the laboratory open, I stepped in, she didn't stop her, but Bud, who was following me, was about to follow me into the lab, but Takama stopped me.

She didn't even say a word, just glanced at Bud, and his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to take another step inside, and looked at me hesitantly, but he didn't insist on going in, so I said to him, "I'll go in and see, you wait for my news." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency the Wizard Giga. Bard said to me with a respectful look before standing on a bench in the hallway outside the lab.

I stepped inside, and Takama stood behind me, slamming the wooden door behind the lab.

Kige's laboratory is not new to me, and I was a regular visitor to it for a while ago, and I completed the trial production and debugging of three crazy potions with her, only to find that Kig was in a very engaged state of work, and there were two shelves of magic herbs around her body, and the shelves were full of magic herbs.

There were a total of seven magic cauldrons boiling magic potions at the same time next to the test bench, and Qi Gemei's face was covered with a layer of white scarf, and her long skirt was fluttering, like a flying colorful butterfly, shuttling between the test bench - the crucible - the magic herb shelf, and she devoted herself to her work, and the shelf on the test bench where the potion test tubes were placed looked like a hill, and half of the test tubes were filled with potions and corked.

Those were very simple first-level magic potions, but they seemed to be quite numerous.

I walked into the lab, and without even raising his head, Kige beckoned to me, "Quickly help me extinguish the fire in the third crucible, the pot of potions is ready, be careful, help me pour into those empty primary potion bottles." ”

Without saying a word, I quickly picked up the crucible and poured the viscous liquid inside into the test-tube-sized primary potion bottles little by little.

At this time, Qige brushed the hair scattered in front of his forehead, showed me a sweet smile, and said to me, "You know that I am almost dying! I am very happy that you can help me!"

I was slightly embarrassed, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I know that you have a lot of things to prepare before you go, but I didn't expect you to be so busy, in fact, I originally wanted to come over and ask for a few bottles of 'Ocean Ink', I wanted to prepare some magic scrolls of 'Frost Nova', and the Ocean Ink ran out, so I came over to see if you had anything here!"

Seeing that the magic potion in the crucible in my hand had been drained, Qige quickly pointed to the other crucible and said to me, "Don't stop, the potion in that pot has also been prepared, hurry up and help me!"

Kig and I worked very well together, she was just busy mixing the primary potions of the magic herbs, and I was in charge of filling the primary potions from the cauldron into the potion bottles, and we barely communicated verbally.

It wasn't until finally that Kig finally stopped, stretched lazily, and I stopped with her.

Kige turned to the shelves by the wall, took out four or five bottles of ink, put them on the messy workbench, and said to me very casually: "No, you want the ocean ink!"

"You really have a lot of magic potions here!" I couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course!" said Kig with a suspicious look, his delicate little nose approached me, sniffed lightly, and then said with some suspicion, "You have something else, why don't you talk about it together?"
